Waterfront vacation rentals in Wānaka

Sherril's place was in an ideal location. It was a five minute walk to the lake, restaurants and the grocery store. The view of the lake from the kitchen/living room was spectacular! We liked that each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and flatware. We made use of the washer and dryer in the unit. Sherril was very responsive to our questions. I highly recommend staying in Sherril's place.

We cannot recommend Maria's place in Wanaka more! In my experience, it is not common for an Airbnb to exceed expectations, but this beautiful property did that and more! The apartment is pristine, the view unbelievable, and the very easy walk to and from town made this location a dream! It was wonderfully peaceful and quiet, truly a highlight of our time in New Zealand. We will absolutely return and hope to stay with Maria again. Thank you so much for having us!

The place is incredible. We stayed for 3 nights and I wish it was for more ! It’s exactly like the pictures, magical views, high end fit out with the top products. Everything is so well thought out in the apartment, from those extra touches like the blankets near the balcony, the incredible bean bag seats that are like sitting in clouds near the fire place, to little things like the awesome products provided in the bathroom. The kids loved having a tv in their room and it was kitted out with Netflix. We loved the kitchen and the wine fridge and the drying cupboard in the laundry was another extra great touch ! The only thing which wasn’t their fault as it’s run by the building management was after skiing we were so looking forward to a hot spa and each time we went there when we got off the mountain it was pool temperature not warm enough to sit in. I have a feeling maybe they turn it off at 5pm as we were getting there at 5:30pm. We would be back there in a heartbeat, so special !

Great location and perfect for a few days. Nice to be able to walk into town plus close to the lake

Even more beautiful than the pictures. The balcony is sublime and it’s a short walk to the downtown restaurants on a very pleasant boardwalk. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub on the complex property.

Really lovely place for a weekend away. Beautiful views of the lake, spotless place, and very close to town (while still not being right in the noise)! We would definitely visit again ☀️

What a lovely place. I felt like home. The apartment was clean, modern and cosy.

We had a great stay in Wanaka. The location was so convenient to walk to the town center and the lake. The views were spectacular! The place was very well outfitted, the linens and beds were so comfy and the baths were clean and convenient. We will definitely be back!

Very reasonably priced and great location near Clutha river trail and short drive to Wanaka. Very tidy and includes everything you’d need.

Excellent space. Very accomodating for our two families. Beautiful views, great walks and lots of space. Would certainly stay there again on our next central trip!

This place is absolutely magical! The view from the front lawn is outstanding and the cottage is adorable and had everything we needed. It's a true gem and feels very much like a classic good old kiwi bach. We and our dog loved it and are planning to come back again.

We loved having coffee and looking out on the gorgeous views of Lake Hawea every morning. Easy access to Wanaka and all the outdoor activities. Lake Hawea is a quiet oasis away from the tourist center of Wanaka and Queenstown. The house is tidy and comfortable and we could walk right out the back door to a lovely trail around the lake. There were clear instructions and recommendations for things to do and restaurants. The bathroom is modern. The kitchen is serviceable but could be updated. We were very happy with Holly’s responsiveness when we reached out about missing supplies for the house (e.g., dish soap). Would definitely stay again.

Had a great time on holiday! The kids loved the friendly farm animals and the outdoor spa. Lots of room to run and play and beautiful scenic surroundings. The house is perfect for two families as the two separate wings each have a large main bedroom with ensuite and kids rooms. The snug was awesome for family movie nights. Thanks so much for having us 😊

Thanks Amanda. We had a fabulous break at your lovely home in Lake Hawea. The lake was breathtaking, we had a brilliant outdoor time on bikes and walks and we loved our meals at the Lake Hawea hotel.

The location, views and facilities of the house exceeded expectations, Yohann was very friendly, the house was very warm, the kitchen was well equipped and we are looking forward to booking again next year.

We felt right at home as soon as we arrived and the house met all our expectations. It’s in a fabulous location overlooking the lake and mountains, with the local pub, shop and cafe all excellent and so convenient. A short trip to lovely Wanaka can provide all you nay need for your stay. Our host, Sarah responded to all our queries promptly and made us feel welcome to her home. Every aspect of the property was clean, neat and had everything you could want for a relaxing stay. Thanks Sarah we hope to be back one day, there’s just too much to see and do around the area. We were happy travellers and would definitely recommend this property.
